Book It!
First edition cover
REBECCA
By Daphne DuMaurier
September 8th (No August Meeting)
3:00 p.m.
Rebecca is a novel of mystery and passion, a dark psychological tale of secrets and betrayal, dead loves and an estate called Manderley that is as much a presence as the humans who inhabit it: “when the leaves rustle, they sound very much like the stealthy movement of a woman in evening dress, and when they shiver suddenly and fall, and scatter away along the ground, they might be the pitter, patter of a woman’s hurrying footsteps, and the mark in the gravel the imprint of a high-heeled satin shoe.”
Enjoy great conversation and refreshments. Held in the Meeting Room.
The BOOK IT Discussion Group meets on selected Tuesdays.

Our second selection for September 8th is:
REBECCA OF SUNNYBROOK FARM
By Kate Douglas Wiggin
Eleven-year-old Rebecca Randall is quite a handful—and now she’s leaving her beloved Sunnybrook Farm to live with her well-to-do elderly aunts and get an education. But they were expecting Rebecca’s quiet, hard-working older sister instead. Can the bright-eyed and talkative girl win them over…especially her strict, rule-bound Aunt Miranda? Just as Rebecca’s “grand spirit” charms everyone in the story, it will captivate readers, too.
BOOK IT readers can read both selections or just one for our discussion in September.
